Old Nature
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding.
6 Acknowledge him in all your ways,
and he will make your paths straight.
Old nature
Stronger than an ox ... is my old nature
Pulling on my plow while the field doesn’t mean a thing
My heart is not in it and with my hands in my pocket
I watch my plow go by ... time and time again
Looking at the field ... the rows are zigzagging
Here and there it shows ... the worms that are exposed
They don’t seem to care ... as they are digging down
to find some food and a place to rest like sin in overdose
Mostly the rows seem to go in circles
Oval, round and crummy ... the field looks like a mess
Patterns of a life ... without any direction
With opportunity despised through constant laziness
